7 Months out SW: 268.8 CW: 167.6 101 lbs down

I just hit 4 months out as of yesterday and I am 81 lbs down. So I'm averaging 20.25 a month, but I know that isn't right lol. I lost about 25 just the first month, it slowed down a little after that but has remained steady. As long as its going down I don't care how fast . I work out every day though. Everyone is different, but I'm extremely happy with my results.

Hi everyone! I am just curious about something, I am 5 weeks out as of today and have lost 40 lbs (10 from pre-op diet) why I am super super excited for this amount, I have noticed that my weight loss has slowed down quite a bit since the first week. The first week post op I lost 14 lbs... after that I am ranging between 4-5 lbs a week. Which is still AMAZING! More than I was losing before surgery, when I was trying really hard. Just was curious how everyone elses went. Was it similar to mine?

Running two miles in the amount of time it took me to run 1.5 in July I am 5 weeks out as of today and 40 lbs down.

I was told not to take mine off until they fell off, but I was really itchy like you are and ended up having an allergic reaction to the strips. I got all red and had blisters in some places from them. Keep a close eye on them and if it continues or you notice a blister call your doctor and ask them what you should do.

I would most definitely have her check for PCOS. I was tiny until I hit puberty and then my weight problems started. My Mom took me to the doctor out of concern but they just said it was a phase and to watch what they gave me. My Dad is a vegetarian so we never had anything other than chicken and turkey burger in our house and only because my Mom refused to be a vegetarian lol. I was diagnosed with PCOS until I was 28 and my husband and I had started trying for a baby.

I will be three weeks out on Thursday. I have lost 20 since surgery, 30 if you include pre op diet

I feel great! I am two weeks post op and I have lost 18 lbs, 28 if you include the weight I lost on the pre op diet. So far the journey has been easy for me, the hardest part is just getting out of the mental mindset to be snacking why watching TV and not being able to eat at restaurants like what my husband and friends do.

I have PCOS and slight sleep Apnea but I don't use any machines for it. That was it.

Hi everyone, Just giving a small update. I had surgery on 9/8 and as of today I am 2 weeks post op and 18 lbs down (28 if you count pre surgery diet)! My goal was just to reach 20 in a month and I almost reached that in two weeks! Though only 5 pounds of that 18 was this past week, I had lost 13 in the first week. I'm guessing that was mostly just water weight and being pumped with who knows what liquid at the hospital. I am drinking more than my 64 oz of water every day, starting working out this past Monday. Haven't had any aversions to foods so far. Here is to hoping my weight continues to melt away <3

Hi Beth, I have Tricare Prime and I just had surgery on 9/8! I did four months of a supervised diet and I was approved within a day of my surgeons office submitting the paperwork. I've had issues with Tricare in the past, but I was very impressed with their speediness.

I've wondered the same thing, not because of food but mostly because I have NO issues drinking over the 64 oz of water. I started drinking that on day 4 post op. I usually get to about 84 now.

It also feels like stuff is getting stuck in between my breasts if that makes since? Doesn't hurt but it really uncomfortable and makes it hard to consume anything. Anyone else have that?

Hi everyone, I had my surgery on September 8th, so I am 3 days post op. I have very little pain, but the nausea is horrible. Is this normal? I also have been burping a lot, I can feel my stomach gurgle whenever I drink water. I had a bad case of buyers remorse yesterday after they gave me beef broth for lunch and it was so horrible, even the thought of it right now makes me want to vomit. Thanks for any help.

I got approved a little over two weeks ago. Surgery is tomorrow ????
